Poetry in Film Festival 2013
The Poetry in Film Festival 2012 has now become PIFF 2013. This is ultimately good for filmmakers who didn’t have the chance to submit films to PIFF 2012 as the deadline has been extended until 1st February 2013. PIFF 2012 received a good number of films, but not quite enough to make the competition strong. We want to make this the best PIFF yet, so we are asking for more time and more films!
